What an assessment for MEM18017 must cover

40 assessable components: 4 elements (15 performance criteria), 7 performance evidence and 18 knowledge evidence requirements. An audit-defensible tool maps every question and task back to these — that mapping is the coverage matrix Auditori generates alongside the assessment.

Elements & performance criteria

1 Determine job requirements

1.1Follow standard operating procedures (SOPs)
1.2Comply with work health and safety (WHS) requirements at all times
1.3Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) in accordance with SOPs
1.4Identify job requirements from specifications, drawings, job sheets or work instructions

2 Plan modification requirements

2.1Analyse maintenance reports and system output information
2.2Identify defective components, sub-assemblies and design faults
2.3Develop corrective action plan

3 Undertake standard modifications to mechanical systems and equipment

3.1Identify modification options for overcoming parts failures and design faults
3.2Select replacements for failed components and sub-assemblies from manufacturers’ catalogue
3.3Develop modification design in conjunction with and approved by appropriate authority
3.4Record modification according to SOPs

4 Evaluate modified mechanical system/equipment

4.1Evaluate alterations for effectiveness and efficiency
4.2Report and record effectiveness/efficiency
4.3Check results against specifications
4.4Recommend additional modification/changes, where required

Performance evidence

following work instructions, standard operating procedures (SOPs) and safe work practices
determining modification requirements by obtaining and analysing relevant maintenance reports, production data, specifications, drawings, circuits and conditioning monitoring data and developing corrective action plan in accordance with SOPs
inspecting plant/equipment for correct location, alignment, operation, performance and conformance to specifications and identifying modification options to overcome parts failure and design faults
developing modification/s to plant and equipment which lead to desired changes in performance in conjunction with, and approved by, appropriate authority
recording approved modifications in accordance with procedures and preparing and authorising drawings of the modified components and/or sub-assemblies
operating and monitoring performance of modified plant/equipment to ensure compliance with the required performance specifications
recording/reporting efficiency/effectiveness of the modifications undertaken and recommending further modifications, where required

Knowledge evidence

safe work practices and procedures and use of personal protective equipment (PPE)
desired changes in performance of the plant/equipment
specifications of the plant/equipment and its performance requirements
procedures for: inspecting the plant/equipment against specifications
procedures for: documenting the proposed modifications to the plant/equipment
procedures for: modifying and authorising changes to drawings of components and/or sub-assemblies, and plant/equipment
procedures for: recording modifications undertaken
procedures for: checking the operation of the modified plant/equipment against required performance specifications
procedures for: reporting/recording the effectiveness/efficiency of the modifications
effect of defective components, sub-assemblies and design faults on the performance of plant/equipment
reasons and action to be taken to achieve the desired changes in performance
authority from whom approval to undertake the proposed modifications is to be obtained
typical part failure modes and the causes and action to be taken to correct part failures and design faults
options for modifying the plant/equipment for given part failures and/or design faults
replacement parts from manufacturers’/suppliers’ catalogues for given components and/or sub-assemblies
tests to be undertaken to check the performance of the modified plant/equipment
engineering design and drawing skills associated with modifying mechanical systems and equipment
numerical operations, geometry and calculations/formulae

Questions about assessing MEM18017

What does an assessment tool for MEM18017 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for MEM18017 needs to address all 40 unit components: 4 elements with 15 performance criteria, 7 performance evidence requirements, 18 knowledge evidence requirements, and the foundation skills. A coverage matrix mapping each question and task to these components is what an auditor looks for.

How does Auditori generate an assessment tool for MEM18017?

Auditori pulls the current release of MEM18017 from training.gov.au and generates a complete package: candidate assessment, assessor guide with model answers and observation criteria, and a coverage matrix mapping every component. A suitably qualified person then reviews and approves the draft in a built-in workflow — consistent with ASQA's guidance on AI use in VET — before export as branded PDF and editable Word.

Is the first assessment tool really free?

Yes. Every new account includes one free credit — enough to generate the complete assessment tool for MEM18017 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing MEM18017 assessment instead of generating a new one?

Yes — upload your existing assessment or learner guide and Auditori maps it against every element, performance criterion, PE and KE of MEM18017, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
